A contractor is building a new subdivision. A rectangular piece
of land for a new house and yard
is 50 feet wide. The length of the
land is longer than the width by
a distance of n ſeet. Which
equation represents the area of
the land?

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

answer: i think it is c
